Maddi Kadnar (Belgrade, Maine) brought the Beavers within two goals, netting her 15th of the season at the 22:48 mark, but it was as close as they would come as the Spartans reeled off nine of the next ten goals to end the half up 12-2.

Flodstrom had two goals and an assist during the surge, while Angelica Mazzola (Centerport, N.Y.) added a goal and two assists.

Miranda Levesque (Sanford, Maine) briefly broke the Castleon momentum with her ninth goal of the season to make it 7-2, but the Spartans proved to be too much down the stretch.

Castleton extended its lead to 17-2 by the 17:52 mark of the second half, as five different Spartans found the net.
